Building Your Brand: The Importance of First Impressions
You know what they say about first impressions. It may take just 7 seconds to make a first impression, but they last much longer. Thanks to ‘the Primacy Effect’, when a person has a series of experiences the first one always sticks in their head longer. The goal of making a first impression is one that I think most businesses will agree is a vital aim. In this post, I’ll explore how we can help you build your brand and the importance of first impressions.
The importance of first impressions
You can use first impressions the right way. Ensure your target market gets the right idea about your brand straight from the off. We all know that making a bad first impression will stick around in our customer’s heads. Unfortunately, that might be the only chance you have to make it.
Good first impressions can include a lot of different factors. Just think of all the factors you consider before a typical job interview. Haircut, carefully selected outfit, relaxed smile, thoroughly rehearsed handshake…and that’s even before you get to the questions. Not to sound superficial, but most people are visual creatures and simply can’t help making a judgement (consciously or not).
Carve out your niche
This is especially true in the world of marketing. In a world of competitors and market disruptors, it’s important to carve out your niche and stand out. Essentially, every brand is chasing that perfect first impression. It could be on the home page of your website, it could be the uniforms of your staff, or it could be the branded onboarding packs you send to each of your new clients. It varies from context to context but connecting all of these moving parts and getting your first impression just right takes a great team of marketers and suppliers you can rely on.
How you position your brand to the outside world is one thing you can control to a pretty granular extent, and it helps to have a partner in that. To Streamline the quality of the branded materials we supply our clients’ must be fully considered and properly aligned with their brand and messaging. That way, the work we deliver allows for the best first impression possible.
